 Desarrollo

The document highlights the importance of logistics by means of transport, since in

any town there are processes of commercialization, purchase and sale of products
and for the whole process transport is needed, and it must be ensured that the
transport is adequate for cargo and in the shortest time and lowest costs, for this
there is a dialogue between exporters and importers throughout the negotiation,
and rely on technology in the transit time of the merchandise.
One of the most important recommendations that the text does not refer to is the
balance, time vs budget, this occurs knowing the distances, for example, currently
with the pandemic worldwide, vaccines are being mobilized which must be
transported by plane by their specific requirements and they must be delivered in
the shortest possible time, if it were by boat the time could be weeks or months and
in this case it is not convenient, this is given by the urgency of the current moment
and that it is a transport of biological which must reach special temperatures in
refrigerators.
To choose the ideal mode of transport for the products, it is necessary to know the
size, packaging and how quickly it must arrive at its destination, and the
advantages and disadvantages of each merchandise transport option. The different
types of transport: land is the most common within the countries and which is
cheaper, and the one that reaches many places in the world that cannot be
accessed by other means of transport, and also transports different types of cargo
which makes it flexible, in more industrialized countries rail transport is used, it is
fast, but much more expensive than land transport, by plane is the fastest means of
transport but the most expensive, for large quantities and that are needed in time
for long is the movement by container ship, at lower costs.
Throughout the process, you must also have the flexibility of the times in the
countries in case of customs setbacks and also of the merchandise so as not to
suffer economic losses that sometimes occur due to poorly calculated logistics and
loss of merchandise.
